I have some great news to share..
I'm still in shock!
Yesterday I get a phone call from a lady stating she was calling on behalf of The city of Oldsmar..(this is where we live)
asking me to come and display my dolls in Oldsmar City Hall Jan 8Th
along with any thing I'd like to sell pertaining to dolls
als0 she asked me if I would do a work shop !!!! That is happening Feb 18Th
She also is doing a write up about me in our big newspaper along with communities news letters!!! Their even having registration sign up from Jan 8Th through Feb 12Th..I am in shock!!! Their hoping this will be a continuing work shop of different goll classes., I also had said how I have been wanting to start a doll club in our area..This seemed to really excite them too!!
So I'm burning the night oil creating new patterns to sell and creating fresh new dolls for display..gosh right at the busy holiday season,but I'm so honored I just can't turn this down
also coming up with and creating a beginners class, I 'm making a small Raggedy Annie 01
but making 4 finished dolls in (1) in Primitive (1) in Folk Art (1) in Whimsy (1) in vintage styles
showing what all you can doing using one pattern..
I have a neck problem and when I spend hours with my head bent down I guess this is what causes it, this really flairs of my neck and back , Then both arms start to go numb and burning..
It wakes me up out of a deep sleep at night with both arms numb and burning..
Last two days I have been really working hard..trying to get this display thing and work shop drawing patterns, then making templates,sewing,stuffing...Really want to have a nice display of different type and sizes of dolls..
well today after a miserable night,My arms just tingle and keep going numb
I decided to just lay straight flat on the couch..This seemed to relive some of the tingling
but I do not want to be just laying with so much to do, which I'm totally loving!!!
I'm hoping to find a answer to this problem,BUT the bottom line is I 'm not going to let this stop me!
Anyways I just had to share this opportunity that has come my way !!!It is such a blessing to me! a Huge Huge blessing:)
I will be taking lots of pictures as I go along on this journey to share with you all!!
If things get a bit quiet you know why!!
Hugs Sherrie

Sherrie, that is so exciting!!! And you so deserve it. I'll be looking forward to the pictures.
Have you ever gone to a chiropractor? I was having similar problems with my legs. One of my feet was so numb that it felt like I was dragging it around. After a couple of adjustments I haven't had any more trouble and that was years ago now.
See! I TOLD you not to even THINK about putting doll-making on the back burner! And this is why! You are very talented, and apparently others think sew too :-) Sorry about your neck and back - do try to be good to yourself and takes breaks. Hugs to you, my friend! Nadine
Congratulations on this great opporutunity! Isn't it interesting how sometimes things come along just when we are the busiest and yet we jump right in and make it happen. Good luck and have fun in this holly, jolly Christmas season!! I love that song by Burl Ives and it just makes me smile!!
